About En Passant

En Passant was created in order to provide the hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism industry with a central reference point for discussion and debate on the key issues of the day. En Passant is made up of a number of different components:

  • Our bi-monthly magazine looks at features and themes on a variety of levels, and we meet with key people in order to build an awareness of the major challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the development of the industry.
  • H Talk organises industry events including public debates, interactive discussion and industry forums.
  • Pendulum is a business consultancy service which provides expert guidance to individuals or organisations who are undergoing or preparing for a process of change. Our experts can provide guidance and mentoring in a confidential environment, which will ensure that you keep focused on key issues.
  • Our website provides an opportunity for the industry to access interactive forums including the EP Blog – an opportunity to reflect on daily issues and hot topics (including an option for you to add your own).
